Default Re: Kony 2012

The biggest criticism of Kony 2012 I've seen is the distribution of funds, but considering their business plan their distribution makes sense to me. They spend a lot on getting the word out because their mission is to get people's attention and keep their attention until the job is done. Basically, they want to influence world powers to take a stand against African warlords, and I think they're using the ICC's #1 enemy to give the effort international legitimacy. You can argue the plan is unsound, but I don't think there is any evidence to claim that it is insincere or they have false intentions. I think we spend far too much time debating people's sincerity these days. In politics, or otherwise. We've become cynical.

Personally? I think they should just us that money to hire Blackwater to track down and kill the guy, then move on the the next on the list.
